Despite the ruling party’s decision to override the Presidential veto and pass the infamous Foreign Agents Law, demonstrations against the law continue in Tbilisi. On May 31, demonstrators gathered in front of the Parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue and later marched to the Peace Bridge, from which they lowered a banner reading “Georgia go on strike!” According to the protest organizers, from now on they will call on Georgians to go on strike in protest against the law.
